Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11), which would prohibit the use of civil immigration warrants as identification to pass Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening checkpoints at airports. Following the introduction of the legislation, Congressman Guest released the following statement: “This swift action of putting together this bill and introducing it in Congress shows the commitment of Republicans in cleaning up the open-border policies of the Biden Administration. Individuals with deportation or arrest warrants should be arrested at TSA checkpoints, not allowed to travel across the country. With this bill, Members of Congress are working to reinstate common sense in our immigration system.” News that the TSA was accepting warrants as identification was first reported by the Daily Caller last week. After learning of the policy, Congressman Guest, who also serves as Vice Ranking Member on the Committee on Homeland Security, called it “a complete failure in policy” and said that it “should trouble all Americans” in a tweet. Congressman Michael Guest represents Mississippi's Third Congressional District. Currently serving his second term, Congressman Guest serves as the Vice Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, as a Member of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and as a Member of the Committee on Ethics. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:50:39Z |
